- In a large mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs and whisk thoroughly until completely blended and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.

- Sauté the diced zucchini and bell peppers for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and develop slight golden edges.

Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, wash and chop your vegetables in advance. This way, you can quickly throw everything together when you're ready to cook.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best flavor. Cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell peppers are excellent choices, but feel free to get creative with whatever you have on hand!
- Don’t Rush the Cooking: Allow the vegetables to sauté until they’re slightly golden and tender. This step enhances their flavor and adds a delicious depth to your frittata.
- Whisk Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly until they’re frothy. This aeration will give your frittata a light and fluffy texture.
- Watch the Broiler: When transferring the skillet to the broiler, keep a close eye on it. Cooking times may vary, and you want to avoid burning the top while ensuring it sets perfectly.
- Serve with Style: For an extra touch, garnish your frittata with fresh herbs like basil or parsley before serving. It adds a pop of color and enhances the flavor!
